MR SPEECH.

Mr.. Powdefly, General Master Workman
Of the Knights Of Labor, spoke in Denver
the night Of the 9th inst. The News of thai
city devotes considerable space to . re
view Of the speech, in which it holds tina,
the greatest danger in the path OF progress
for organized labor is found in the largs
class Of men. mostly foreigners. who ar
imbued with crazy ideas on the subject o'
social reform. This class can see no bene
fit except in destroying the existing order
Of things. They are at wal with society
and civilization. Their teaching is dan.
gerous and logically leads to the worst
crimes. Their sentiments are not congeni-
al to this hemisphere. Yet the men who
are filled with these mad theories, who
cannot appreciate the blessings of a free
government where every man has a chance,
who are allied to incendiarism and COW
ardly murder-these men are scattered
among the labor organizations. and as far
as their influence extends it is q curse, a
prejudice, a dead weight to the interests of
workingmen.
Every legitimate step for bettering the
condition OF laboring people is in harmony
with the aggregate of American sentiment.
On the other hand it would be difficult to
express the adherence which is felt for the
horde Of foreign cranks and would-be cut
throats and their worse than insane doc
trines. To crush this venomous power
where it has threatened to rise to the sur
face, the strongest party ties have been
cast aside without hesitation. Even poll
ticians shrink from it- contact.
Mr.. Powderly does not suit these rack
Drained cranks, because he believes in
American institutions, and that reforms
in labor are to he effected by intelligent
cooperation of the various interests and
by legislation Influenced through the bal
lots of freemen. Nothing in the very fine
speech he delivered was more to the point
Dr. met with more hearty response than the |
ASKING given by Mr.. Powderly to every
phase of la~wlessness, beginning with sense
ess Socialism and ending with mad An
lrchy. Mr.. Powdsrly recognizes the i'm
'~ortance of p%opularizing all just demands
II labor, and he knows that there must
Ne a gulf between sane workingmen and
ocial revolutionists. The significant les
of Chicago's vote was rightly inter
by this leader OF the Knights, and
I labor interests are again compromised
" such an alliance it will not be for want
II timely and earnest warning.

Sacrificed for Money Getting,

No one can have visited New York within
the last few months without being impressed
by the fact that here good taste, persona
comfort and almost decency are sacrificed fol
money getting. In no way is this inordinatt
greed better illustrated than in the way IL
which the cars and stations of the elevated
railroads are plastered all over with huge ad
vertisements which stare one in the face from
the moment one begins to ascend the stairs
until he has finished his journey and has de
scended the stairs. A huge placard attracted
my attention this morning, offering as an in
ducement to advertisers in the stations this
information, which is probably within the
mark, that 100000 ride daily OF the elevated
trains.-New York Cor. Boston Transcript.

Even railroad disaster has it's blessing
concealed. Our Eastern exchanges inform
us that the Boston & Albany railroad is
now running trains lighted with electricity
and heated by steam. This is a good thing
for the road and a good thing for it's pas
sengers. 1t is a standing advertisement of
OF the very best sort, and the fulfllment of
the demand made by the newspapers of the
whole country for a better system of heat
ing thar that furnished by the deadly car
stove, and a better method of lighting than
that afforded by railway lamps or jets OF
blazing GAS.

The opposition among Philadelphia Re

individual dissatisfaction OF Mr.. Wharton
Barker with the candidate in whose behalf
he was formerly so ardent. But the Ameri

ment against Blaine is plainly stated to be
that hundreds OF thousands OF Republicans
would refuse to vote for him.

A Man Who Needs Watching.

As an instance of the skepticism Of Wal
street, it was stated the other day that when
a well known bull operator is asked to enter a
pool to bull a stock he is invited to the Office
where the pool is being arranged, though he
is not told what he is wanted for. Once there.
he always subscribes for a number of thou
sands of shares of the stock, and from that
minute private detectives watch him day
and night. He has a habit of selling out at q
moderate profit and leaving his pool friends
in the lurch.

CHIEF SKINNER.
He will Answer Charges Against
Him To-day.

Him TO-day.
For a week past there have been
charges published in the papers imply.
ing that certain members of the police
force are accepting brides from the
gambling fraternity, both white and
Chinese. The name of Chief Skinner
has been mixed up with the matter, and
to-day the Board Of Police Commission.
ers will investigate the whole thing
fully. 1t is understood that Fred Smith,
q member of the force, and who has
been the confidential man of the Chief,
will state before the Commissioners that
he was prevented by the Chief from
raiding gambling houses, and will
make some serious revelations in
regard to Mr.. Skinner. The
Chief will make his own defense
and tell his side of the story, which will
be about as follows: The first raid made
after he took the office was on the game
on Spring street, over the Turf Club
saloon. This raid was managed by Smith,
and the fine. amounted to $3.50. A Chi
nese game was next raidsd, and the
fines were over $500. Then the CHIEF
and Smith planned raid on the game
back of the Brunswick saloon. This
was successfully carried out, and $3.50
were collected in fines. In short time
suggestion W as made to make another
raid on the Brunswick, but the Chief
thought that this game had contributed
very literally and that some OF the
others should be raided. An arrange.
ment was then made to
raid big tan game in
Chinatown, but before the force de.
tailed to make the raid started out
word was received that every game in
Chinatown was closed. 1t was known
that game was in full operation at 265
Main street, and an effort was made to
pull it. The people running the game,
however, were well acquainted with the
members of the police force, and it was
necessary to get some outsider to make
an entrance. This outsider was found,
but he wanted the Chief to pay him
forty dollars for his services, and the
Chief thought this little too much,
considering the modest salary paid him
by the city, and refused to en-
ploy the man. Skinner again
turned his attention to the game over
the Turf Club and planned a raid. He
did not tell Smith of his plan until
few moments before it was carried out.
This netted the city about $500. As to
the game at 265 IL Main street, the
Chief says it was impossible to get into
the room without making an entry
through the roof. 1t will be rather
hard to con vince people that Skinner has
been guilty of accepting brides from
gamblers or anybody else. He enjoys
the reputation of being an honest man
and his friends feel certain that he can
refute the charges brought against him.
Many people may entertain the idea
that Skinner does not know all in the
world about the police bushes, but very
few, if any, will accuse him of dishonesty.
His position is one extremely hard to
| fill aud no man holds it without meeting
adverse criticism.
